i need opinions.
i am really hoping things don't go this way, but i am aware that sometimes plans change! in the event that i have to have an unplanned csection, i know there is a recovery time for mom. my hospital said that during that time, dad can hold baby and have him in the regular room while im in recovery, or he can be in the nursery. i would love for dad to get to love on our newborn even if i have to wait... where i am needing advice is; i KNOW his family will want to rush back and love on baby too while im recovering. i hate the thought of everyone getting to love on my baby before i get to, but don't want to deny his daddy to get to hold him because i cant. i also dont want to put his daddy in the awkward position of "you can see him but not touch him yet". i kinda feel like i need to just let people hold him, even before i get to, to keep the peace and let dad love on him... it just makes me so sad to think about. but the alternative is dad not even getting to hold his son, and that makes me sad too. have you been in this postion? what did you do? if not, what would you do?
